Slow Cooker Enchilada Meatballs
I went a little meatball crazy! You may have seen several of my recipes here on the blog that I have been testing out. My husband actually asks me if we could take a break from them. He has been eating them for dinner and taking leftover for lunch. I had so many yummy ideas and had to try them all out for you. I love slow cooker meatballs because they work perfectly for appetizers or you can easily make it a dinner. With the Holidays and the Superbowl coming up they are perfect.

How to serve Slow Cooker Enchilada Meatballs:
This recipe is perfect for an appetizer or dinner. We serve it as an appetizer with toothpicks and my guess love them. I’ve also made them several times for dinner and served them over rice. My favorite rice is this recipe, Cilantro Lime Rice.

Baked Chicken Fajitas: This one is my husbands all time favorite! I’ve been making him simple homemade fajitas for years and this one is hands down the best way to do it.
Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas: This is my kid’s favorite way to have “enchiladas” because there is no actual enchilada sauce in it. It’s simple to make and full of ranch flavor!
Chicken Enchilada Casserole: This one is so simple to make and so full of flavor. It’s like the classic chicken and rice casserole but with a bold enchilada flavor!

Hi Stacey. One serving would be 1/6th of the recipe about 5-6oz
How much is one serving?
Hi Crystal, the cooking time shouldn’t change to much guess that one extra hour would do it.
This looks like it’s going to be delicious! I cannot wait to make it. If I am doubling the recipe, how much time should it go in the slow cooker?
Yes homemade meatballs can be used for this recipe. I would either cook them in the oven before hand or just carefully place them in a single layer so they all don’t stick together.
Can I use fresh homemade meatballs instead of frozen?

Girl THANK YOU! Hahah autocorrect is not my friend and I totally missed that one. Do not add anything rotten to this 😉
Thanks so much!
